Return policy in case of traveling

Hi,
I have bought my new apple in the USA - last week, and I just found out that it has only 4Gig of RAM, and I wanted 8Gig. The issue is that I wont be back in the states before january.
Do you know if there is a derogation to the 14 days return policy in such a case?
Thanks for the tips!

  • Verizon return policy

    Apparently for Verizon, policy trumps customer satisfaction.  I just found out the hard way that Verizon's retail policy is if you fail to return an item in 2 weeks, you're out of luck.  I bought an $18 case at a store pretty far from me because I happened to be shopping in the vicinity.  Tried to return it to a more local Verizon store and was told I had to return it to the store I bought it from.  But I didn't get there in time.  I pay for 7 freakin' devices each month and they stiff me for $18!!  Next time contract renewal comes up I'll definitely be shopping around.  Make no mistake.

    My husband and I are also having a major hassle with the Verizon return policy. My husband is an over-the-road truck driver who only gets home about every three weeks. The last time he was home, we went to the Verizon store and got him a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone. We also bought a LifeProof Fre case for the phone which cost $96.06. A few days after the purchases, my husband hit the road with the phone and case. The phone seems to be fine, but the case is a real dud. The case has to be registered in order to take advantage of the Total Water Protection Plan and even after three days of trying (and yeah, I'm a techie gal!) I was never able to complete the registration (a draconian process that requires, among other things, an upload of the receipt and a screenshot off the phone). To top it off, the "Off" button on the side of the case doesn't work well (you have to push it numerous times and hold your mouth just right) and the fingerprint-recognition function is so erratic with the case on the phone that my husband finally just turned it off. It didn't take long to figure out that we wanted to return the crummy LifeProof case and get a refund. Unfortunately, my husband has the case with him on the road and I have the box and the junk that came in it at home in North Carolina. My husband went to a Verizon store in Fargo, North Dakota last night and tried to return the case, but they wouldn't take it without the box. I even offered to mail the box to the store, but they wouldn't accept that as a solution. As I'm writing this, my husband is running around in Fargo this morning trying to find a place to ship the case home to me so I can reunite it with the box and return it to the store where we bought it. We only have a measly 14 days from the date of purchase (which was over a week ago) or we will be stuck holding the bag on an expensive case that isn't worth a toot. My husband is worried about bashing around the country without a case on his phone, so he's planning to go to Target to buy one he can use after he ships the LifeProof case back to me. Unlike Verizon, Target has great customer service, a great return policy that works for real people who lead busy and complicated lives, and any Target store will take back merchandise purchased at any other Target store. While we're pretty much stuck with data and phone plans from Verizon because they have the best coverage in far-flung parts of the nation, we have agreed that we'll never again purchase any retail items like phone accessories from Verizon. I spent hours on the phone with Verizon yesterday trying to get an extension on the time they'll give us to return the LifeProof case, but even after going up the food chain and talking to three different customer service employees, the answer was always,"No, we have a strict policy about returns and we won't do anything to help you." We've come to believe that all Verizon cares about is rigidly enforcing their ridiculous policies (hey, they make more money if their customers can't return merchandise!). After this experience, we certainly don't feel like Verizon cares about customer service and satisfaction.

  • IPhone 4 Returns - policy and experience clarification (US AT&T or Apple)

    I'm considering returning my iPhone 4 and waiting to see how "issues" sort out before repurchasing. (the issues are well covered elsewhere on the board, would like to focus here just on return policy and experiences of others)
    The stated Apple policy for iPhones is 30 days (14 days for other products, but 30 for iPhones), but says there will be a 10% restocking fee assessed (and I assume this would be based on non-discounted full list price of the phone).
    http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/salespolicies.html#iphonereturns
    Those of you who have returned your phone - did you have to pay the 10% restocking fee? Was your return to AT&T or to Apple?

    Thank you so much for your response.
    There is nothing to be done. Unlocking is at the discretion of the carriers. Apple has no say in the matter at all. There is no law or regulation in the US that requires AT&T to unlock phones. Since they feel that it is not in their financial best interest to do so, they will not do so.
    Apple is correct in stating it is AT&T that must initiate an unlock. Unfortunately, AT&T will not do so, so you're stuck.

  • Audio quality - also, return policy

    The screen issue may be an issue of a defect, so I can hold out hope for that to be right by the time mine ships, but what about the audio quality? Do others find that the sound quality is worse than a 5g iPod? I would hate to find that I disliked the sound of the iPod touch.
    In that regard, what is Apple's return policy when the issue is only that you don't like a product? Will they give a full refund in that case? I'd like to keep my preorder in, but if I found the sound quality bothersome I would definitely want to return it for a refund.

    regardless of store policy, you my friend are protected by Consumer Law, which supercedes any store policy. Policy is just that, policy... law trumps policy.
    Also, a policy is referred (legally) to as "to offer a replacement, refund..." - notice the wording - "offer". Just because they offer it to you, you do not have any legal obligation to accept such a policy/offer.
    Trust me, I took my iPod Touch to the 5th Avenue store in NYC this morning, and "their policy" is to not refund when bought with a debit card, as it's similar to cash, and on the back of the receipt it states no refunds over $250.
    I referred her to my consumer rights protected by Consumer Law, and hey presto, I got a full refund to my debit card (over $400, the cost of the Touch + taxes).
    So, if you're knowledgable, and of course courteous, you'll get back what you want.
    The law protects you.

  • Dummy DVD drive - return policy?

    ATTN: Administrator
    I received my Lenovo laptop today.  Upon examining it to make sure that all the specs matched, I realized that LENOVO put a dummy DVD drive when in the sales email they specifically state that it is included with the PC.  I called customer support only to be lied to by a customer service agent that this system was not supposed to arrive with a DVD bay.  I even asked her, "why go out of your way to lie about the situation when it is clearly stated on the confirmation email, delivery box, and part number?"  Her voice quickly changed and requested I take photos of the system.  This is was purchased through LENOVO.com.
    I am just curious how they are going to handle this after my second attempt to get this straightened out.  Will they offer to send it back to the factory to install the DVD drive, have it looked at an authorized retailer or lie about it again?  Would LENOVO offer a replacement, exchange or refund?  According to their "return policy", it states that they do so in case of an error.  Personally, I am skeptical about their return policy after reading all these horrible stories of people getting lied to.  
    I have faith in this company and that they will fix a simple error on their part.  PC's are not cheap, so hope they handle it the right way.  
    Dear ADMINISTRATOR, do you have any suggestions how I can get this problem worked out?
    Thank you for your anticipated help.

  • Best Buy Return Policy for Cell Phones

    I bought an LG G Flex on 1 July. I rooted it when I got home. A couple of days later, I found out that I would have to unroot it in order to get the KitKat update, so I returned it to stock condition and tried to get the update. It booted into Jellybean fine, I made sure that the recovery was back to stock, and I made sure that the SU binaries were not present.
    I ran the update for KitKat, and my phone ended up shutting off and not turning back on. I had a full battery at the time. I'm not entirely sure what happened during the update process, but it looks like a partition got corrupted. I couldn't tell, because I couldn't turn the phone on. I figured I'd exchange the phone for a new one. I checked online to see if any of the Best Buy stores in my area had any G Flexes left in stock, and they didn't. I had to drive about an hour and a half away to Schaumburg, IL to try to do the exchange. While they were going through the process of trying to fix the phone before exchanging it, I told them that I could have fixed it if I could get it to boot into Download mode or recovery. They then asked me if I had rooted my phone. I told them that I had, but I returned it to stock in order to take the KitKat update. They refused to do the exchange, so I had to drive to the Best Buy in Arlington Heights, IL. At this store, a "multi-channel sales supervisor" named April {removed per forum guidelines} told me that they wouldn't be able to process the exchange because they couldn't turn the phone on. She directed me to call 888-BEST-BUY, which I did. The customer service representative looked at my account and told me that she had no idea why I was told I couldn't exchange my phone. By this time the Arlington Heights Best Buy had closed. I had to drive back out there the next day to get the issue resovled. It took me an hour and a half to get there. I was able to do the exchange at that time, and I saw April at the customer service counter and told her that the CSR I spoke with over the phone had no idea why I was told I couldn't do the exchange. She then told me that she had received an email from the Schaumburg store that I had rooted my phone and to not do the exchange. She then kicked me out of the store.
    Firstly, the return policy says this regarding mobile device returns:
    If you decide to return a phone or device with a plan, you are responsible for canceling your service contract with the carrier, and for all carrier charges.
    There are two ways to return your phone or device and cancel your service:
    • Return your device to a Best Buy store. Be sure to tell the store associate that you want to cancel your service. Carrier service cancellation policies may vary.
    • Call Best Buy Mobile at 1-877-702-2211 (6 a.m. to midnight, CT) for instructions on how to return the device by mail. Let the phone associate know that you want to cancel your service.
    There is nothing there about rooted or jailbroken devices. If Best Buy wants to exclude those devices, all it takes is adding one sentence: "Mobile devices with custom or altered firmware are not eligible for return or exchange under this Policy." Because there is nothing in the stated return policy against returning such a device, the Schaumburg store should have accepted the return. At the very least, they should not have notified other stores, seeing as I wasn't trying to get anyone to violate the return policy.
    Secondly, I don't appreciate being lied to, and I feel that April lied to me. She was also incredibly rude to me when I asked about why she had directed me to call customer service. If she had told me that Schaumburg had told her that my phone was rooted, I could have dealt with the Schaumburg store and spoken with their manager. Asking me to leave the store for trying to figure out what the hell was going on (and after she had found out that I had already gotten my phone exchanged) was even more rude. I was not looking for a fight. I just wanted answers, and perhaps a little consideration for the fact that I had to waste four hours of my life dealing with this when it should have been dealt with the previous day.
    These experiences, along with an ongoing problem with an online order that is not relevant to this topic and which I have explained in a thread that was about a similar problem, are making it incredibly unlikely that I will ever shop at Best Buy again. Not even for things that I have an urgent need for, like replaement charging cables when mine crap out. I can wait two days for Amazon to ship them to me. I am also more likely to tell my friends and family to avoid shopping at Best Buy because of these experiences.
    The employees of the Best Buy stores in Schaumburg and Arlington Heights certainly seem like they actually want this:

    Hello again Sloppy_Carlton,
    I’m glad to see you are utilizing the forums to reach out to us about multiple experiences, although I am sorry to see that neither of the experiences you posted about left you feeling delighted.
    Per our Return & Exchange Promise, we may return or exchange almost everything; however, devices that are damaged would be excluded. It seems the unauthorized modification (rooting and unrooting the phone) may have been the cause of the phone not turning on when attempting to update your operating system to KitKat. We would not be able to accept this device for an exchange or return as it would be considered damage from the unauthorized modification.
    That being said, I’m glad to hear you seem to have been provided a one-time solution to this experience. We truly value your insight and the time you have taken to share these insights with us. If you should need any further assistance, please feel welcome to reach out to us.
    Thank you for posting on the forum!

  • Difference Between 4.7 and ECC 6.0 in case Of Travel mgmt.

    Hi guys,
        Please let me know what is the main difference between 4.7 and Ecc 6.0 in case of Travel management.
    Thanks

    Hi Pulla,
    We use R/3 4.7 version for Travel Management (FI-TV) with fairly good features but the latest  version ECC 6.0 which is Enterprise Central Component version 6.0 gives you the opportunity to use ESS/MSS ie, using portal to create the trips/claims as against interfaces. 
    Therefore one difference would be to get the work done easily by logging into a internet site and complete the trips/claims which in turn updates your database tables where as in 4.7 there is no such functionality to use portal to make an expense claim.
    There might be other feature enhancements available in 6.0 which I am currently unaware of but surely SAP gurus in this forum will be able to provide more on that.
    Hope the above provides more info.

  • Iphone 4 defected antenna return policy socks

    Iphone 4 defected antenna return policy socks they are not fully refund you plus they will make your life miserable try and see..

    You have 30 days to return it to an Apple Store for a refund if you bought your i4 from Apple Store or store.apple.com. After 30 days, you can not request a refund. If you bought it from AT&T, Best Buy, etc you have to go back to them for the refund.
    Phone 4 Refunds
    If you are not completely satisfied with your iPhone 4, you can return your undamaged iPhone 4 to any _Apple Retail Store_ or the _Apple Online Store_ within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. _If you purchased your iPhone 4 from AT&T, you can also return it to an AT&T store_.
    AT&T as well as other stores may not honor the "FREE" refund in place. If not, they would be following their store's policy. 30 days to request a refund and pay the restock fee. Afterwards, the i4 can only be repaired or replaced at Apple Store or cared for at the Carrier whom may submit the i4 to Apple.

  • Target's return policy. Does anyone know about it?

    Well I'm planning on returning my iPT to the Apple Store next week bc of multiple stuck pixels. When they replace it I'm thinking of not opening the box and returning it to get a full refund and maybe getting it from Target bc talking to a "Genious" 4 times is QUITE annoying. Does anyone know how Target's return policy is? If I get a faulty screen with dead/stuck pixels for example. Do I just go back to Target and return it and grab a new one?
    Thanks!

    Here is their policy.
    http://www.target.com/b/ref=brbx1/602-7382719-0427818?ie=UTF8&node=13685491
    I don't know how they handle bad pixels but if you showed them the iPod and said it wasn't what you expected or feel its bad. I'm sure they will take it back.

  • I cannot return my iPhone4 in the UK - Apple has no return policy ???

    Hello all,
    I am really frustrated and angry.
    I decided that due to the "grip of death" Signal Loss fault with iPhone 4's, I would return my phone and get something else. I went into the ORANGE UK's shop Monday morning, 4 days after the phone was launched, to get a refund.
    They told me, "sorry, if you had bought any other phone we would be able to help you, but Apple does not have a return policy on their phones". I was astonished, could not believe him and got annoyed with him. He said that until Apple admit there is a fault and that they are prepared to honour consumer's rights to a product that works as stated, they could do nothing.
    I then phoned Apple, who recommended I buy a rubber cover or hold the phone differently.
    Now I have written a formal letter to ORANGE UK, though the problem really lies with Apple, who do not take returns in the UK.
    I am extremely angry and disappointed in Apple. I have two Apple computers, and will never buy an Apple product again.

    Apple UK does have a return policy for items purchased directly from them; 14 calendar days from date of purchase. I don't see any exception for the iPhone in the policy:
    http://storeimages.apple.com/1409/store.apple.com/Catalog/uk/Images/salespolicie s_consumer.html#topic-7
    So I think the Orange people are blowing smoke at you, though I cannot be certain that their contract with Apple does not have some special terms. Someone here with direct experience with Orange may be able to provide more useful insight. I would suggest you call Orange customer service directly rather than depend on the word of a shop. Unless Orange's shop personnel are better-trained and supervised than are those in the AT&T shops here, your shop manager may well be ignorant of the terms. Or deliberately telling you a lie to avoid having to take back your iPhone.
    Good luck.

  • Carphone Warehouse doesn't allow 14 days return policy

    Just brought a iPhone this Monday, and then the iPhone reduced its price to £100 off, so I took my iPhone, which I haven't even got a choice to unpackaged it yet, back to the Carphone Warehouse where I brought it, they told me they do not do 14 days return policy, once you purchased your iPhone you are not allowed to return it for any reason.
    Their reason is they have policy that customer signed when purchasing the iPhone says No-14-days return policy.
    I have been contacting Carphone, O2 and Apple for the last four days on this issue, it seems O2 and Apple are happy to return the phone but I have to return it with Carphone Warehouse where I brought it, and there is noting I can do, nor the O2 or Apple, to make the Carphone Warehouse refund my iPhone.
    What can I do? I cannot believe this.

    This from the CPW website on their returns policy:
    +You must return your iPhone with all contents (accessories, manuals, etc) and packaging undamaged and unused with a valid till receipt or other proof of purchase to a Carphone Warehouse store and proof of credit check (if applicable) within 7 working days from the date you received your iPhone.+
    So it seems they do a 7-day return policy, instead of 14 days? My understanding was that the 14-day return policy was a legal obligation placed on vendors, but I may be wrong.

  • Returns Policy - Number of days

    Hi All,
    I am testing a condition where the number of days in the returns policy should be visible in the returns sales order document.
    Could anyone please let me as to where I can find the number of days in the Returns Sales order within which the customer is expected to return the products?
    Also, please mention the condition type in SAP SD in which I can configure the number of days for return.
    Many Thanks,
    Shilpa

    Dear Shilpa,
    I am testing a condition where the number of days in the returns policy should be visible in the returns sales order document.
    I Hope there is no return 'policy' mapped in SAP.
    Hence give us more input on how the return date is calculated for each order.
    i.e, is it fixed for all the customers/materials?
    Could anyone please let me as to where I can find the number of days in the Returns Sales order within which the customer is expected to return the products?
    Without mapping the process, you will not find the number of days in the return sales order.
    Also, please mention the condition type in SAP SD in which I can configure the number of days for return.
    Do you mean pricing Condition type ? if so, whats the relevance in this scenario.
    It would be great if you can just tell whats already mapped in your SAP and Whats the requirement in simple sentences.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Unfair Return Policy

    Here goes eBay again.  A Canadian buyer purchased a tablet from me then checked off the "Not As Described" box one day later.  The buyer then ceased all communication and waited.  Six weeks later, despite all my emails to eBay, eBay issues a full refund to the buyer.  All my pictures and documentation did not matter to eBay.   No opportunity to get the tablet back and inspect it.  The buyer can now enjoy his FREE tablet.  So grossly unfair.  No normal store anywhere gives you a refund without returning the item first.

    I was fighting the blanket "Not As Described" the buyer chose to use.  I emailed the buyer requesting he return the tablet so I could inspect it.  I gave him a return address.  No response.   The buyer has not communicated with me or eBay since May 27th.   This tablet was documented with photos.  I run it through a checklist to make sure everything is working before shipping.  My listing was accurate.  He says the camera does not work.  Maybe he doesn't know how to setup it up or use it.  I don't know.  He said the cover was partially opened.  I believe he tried to open it for whatever reason.  My thoughts.  All any eBay buyer needs to do is use the "Not As Described" option, generate some excuse, stop communicating, then just wait.  Eventually he gets his money back and is free to use the product.  If I was a dishonest buyer I could do this easily on eBay and screw the seller. Six weeks later eBay sides with the buyer.  My photos and documentation do not matter.  The buyer purchased this tablet just two weeks after becoming an eBay member.  I've been an eBay member for 15 years.  Doesn't matter to eBay. I have already changed all my active listings to No International Transactions.  I know that eliminates some good people but I seem to have more problems with buyers outside the USA, plus it greatly reduces my return shipping costs. I have no problem with the 14-day eBay return policy.  I use a generous 30-day guarantee for customers on my own websites.  They can return an item for no reason at all if they want.   I want my customer to be happy and satisfied.   What I do have a problem with is fraud.  And, I suspect fraud was committed here.  I am pursuing other avenues but I do not think I'll ever get my money back.
